Date men from United States / California / Novato, 51 year old

Date someone special from Novato, United States. I have to say with honesty that the best job I ever had was to be the father of my three children, I couldn't have been able to get where I am now without them. Today I'm almost at the end of this stage of my life and I'm going to try to get a friend, a partner, an associate, a fiance, a wife, in order to share so much experience accumulated through life and together been able to enjoy the many adventures and positive situations that are out there.
On the personal side I'm very easy going with good temper and like to laugh a lot, I have learned that the simple things in life fill my inner soul in ways I honestly can't described. I like to see sports yeah but important games or when the season gets to playoffs, of course that if I have something to do with you absolutely will come first.
I prefer a lady close to my age bracket, mature, stable, smart, entrepreneur, easy going I like to have smart conversations and debate and analyze them, I don't like to argue at all, life is too short and beautiful to sweat for the small stuff.
Finally I want to say that I'm open minded and joined this website with the seriousness the occasion require it, I'm not here to play games with you girls nor I want to be played.
Good luck to all of you and I wish that very soon you can find what you are looking for, remember mens and women were created to complement each other.
Ps: currently and temporarily I'm living in Bay Point to let my son graduate this year from HS, but next year I'll be moving to Marin County in order to be close to my job and be able to get home earlier.

Meet single man from Novato, United States. Ok, so I would be a bit awkward at first. I always was a bit on the shy side but I warm up easily and I'm quick witted. I love to get someone to laugh or just open up. I'm real easy to understand, I have a big heart and really love to share time with someone special.
I always been an adventurous guy. In my younger years I would leave on a dime across the world with no plans made and always had the best of times. I moved to Hawaii just to learn to windsurf and ended up living on Maui, sailing everyday or golfing if the wind wasn't blowing. I'm not as free as those days now, but I still travel when I can. My plan is to introduce my 8 year old daughter to the world and all the cool places in the US. I would enjoy someone that has the same outlook on life. Work hard, play hard. Are you someone that can travel to anyplace in the world and just enjoy the culture if you weren't staying in a 5 star hotel? Don't get me wrong, I do like to be pampered, but I also like to dig deep. I could just sit in a cafe and drink a cup of coffee and rap with the locals for hours.
I have my religious beliefs. I am Christian, and would like someone that has the same type of values. I may not go to church every Sunday, but I do enjoy it when I do attend.
I'm looking for someone to be a great friend and partner. It's something I have missed for way too many years. I love to start the day with someone and end it with the same one, sharing the day and looking forward to tomorrow. Maybe you would like to do the same?

Date a soulmate from Novato, United States. You and I may have much in common if:
Smiling comes easily and often for you
You enjoy laughter in heaping helpings
You love to give and receive flowers
You love to give and receive love letters
Some of your best days have been unscripted
You enjoy being outdoors
You are moved by the beauty of nature
You learn from your mistakes
You have faith that you will fall in love forever
Some of my background and perhaps a bit deeper dive than the norm:
If the closest I ever get to winning the lottery was growing up in rural West Marin, I'll take it. Life in a small agricultural town emphasized values such as family, friendship, honesty, hard work, and taking delight in life's simple pleasures. My best friend from high school, who owns a 4th generation organic dairy nestled along the Pacific, remains my best friend. Growing up in such a splendid natural setting also gave me a deep appreciation for being active, being outdoors, and finding spirituality in being close to nature. Although I now live in the suburbs and love to get to the City often, West Marin still feels like home to me. Bury me there.
"Selfishly Giving Back". I wish I could say that I give of my time and money to worthwhile causes with the same selfless spirit that Mother Teresa did. I give back simply because I derive great pleasure in doing so. I have been a Rotarian for over 20 years, am a Big Brother to Jeremy who is now age 18, and serve on the Board of The San Francisco Food Bank. My experience with the Food Bank has brought about a profound change in me as it has substantially heightened my level of gratitude. I find now that most meals I eat are accompanied by a wave of thankfulness for the privlege of eating as I am now keenly aware that there are so many people, here and abroad who do not have such a luxury. I seldom take for granted many things in my life that I once often took for granted.
I am at my core, an athlete. From Little League through college, I was constantly involved in competetive sports. In my life, I much more often draw from the lessons I learned in sports than from what I learned in a class room. Attributes such as team work, preparation, persistency, resiliency, and working toward a common goal. My college football coach was a world class teacher and he concentrated most on building character. Along the way, his teams won three national championships. My teammates and I hold a special reverance for him. Today, I still enjoy working out regularly and typically enter one triathlon a year to help enhance the focus of my workouts. I would never have imagined that I would try and like yoga this year and now I am hooked. It's a wonder drug. I am however now the target of hazing from my football buddies.
(Intermission)
I am a recovering alcoholic. This year marks 10 years of sobriety for me. I realize that I risk you reading this and reading no further. I share this fact in the spirit of openness and honesty. In my day, I did not drink often, but when I did....hmmm....let's just say that my stories would make for an interesting book. Maybe a movie. The past decade has brought me a wonderful journey to a heightened level of self-awareness and self-understanding. I am comfortable being around people who are drinking. I am comfortable being in a relationship with a woman who drinks in moderation. If going wine tasting every weekend is high on your list of things to do, I am likely not the match for you. If going wine tasting occasionally is, then I am in and can play a mean game of designated driver.
I love the life I have led thus far and wouldn't change a thing (I might delete disco music). I want my eulogy to end with, "and most of all, he was a great husband and a terrific father." I have a vision of falling happily in love forever more, of marital bliss (98.8% of the time), and of a warm and loving family. This is my favorite vision of all :)

Meet a man from Novato, United States. I had it and lost it. That was my fault. Now I want to find my way back with the benefit of what I learned. Just a nice guy looking for friendship and sizzle. Hanging out together, hanging out with friends, and once in a while putting a little sizzle on the grill. Mean girls need not apply.

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm pretty low key and into a slow, easy, sensative lifestyle combining laughter and fun. Nature suits me best, especially in the warm weather months. Can't have too many animals around and small children to remind us of our true nature. I follow a mostly vegan diet.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Straight out...I'm looking for honesty, loyalty, a best friend that knows how to communicate. Love languages tells me I'm mostly touch...but don't let yourself drift from the definitions in the book. I like working together through situations and always value a difference of opinion. As a friend or partner I am loyal and always concerned with your perspective and feelings.
I'm not sure about this process... .it seems so mechanical....
I would love a chance to get to know you better without the need to be anything but real. Lets text or chat . You'll find that I'm honest, a great friend, clean, safe, and willing to converse about almost anything. I'm not into exploitation and look for someone that is grounded and wants a down to earth friend ... then who knows. ....
I'm 54........ But seem easily many years younger....so, I'm told.
I love the water and sun, city lights from sausalito, camping, boating, jet skiing, snow skiing, water skiing, warm beaches, Christmas, Nw England, California, a good meal, cuddling . . . but to name a few.
In the foreseeable future, I want to get back on the bay sailing my own boat. Yes, I love sailing too!
That's a quick snapshot and I would love a chance to text or meet and share time together over a beverage where we can talk more.

Looking to create a new social circle, so I'm here. My job consumes much of my time, but does allow me some freedom to travel, enjoy some great NorCal venues and I'm looking for an individual to explore those areas as well. Whether it be The City, Napa Valley or the Mendocino Coast our times could be fun.
I currently work for a Mid-Size California Brewery and Manage a Sales Team in NorCal. Even though Craft Beer is my passion, I do enjoy great food, fine wine and fun activities.
I have two fantastic kids and share time with them on a weekly basis.
